Production process
Fermentation and maceration with the skins at a degree of 26 °C / 78°F for 6 days, after will follow the Malolactic fermentation. Freisa made in Piedmont typically is a lightly sparking wine. Our Freisa however is vinified still, dry, and has a good structure.
Serving recommendations
This wine we typically place on the market in April following the harvest. It should be drunk at a temperature around 18 °C / 64 °F with foods that will work well with the rustic tannin of this grape for example mortadella, sausage, or richer fattier foods. This wine is recommended to be drunk young but can be aged another three to four years.

92 Brezza’s 2024 Freisa shows how intriguing wines made with this rare native grape can be, starting with its mesmerizing scents of red rose, geranium, dark culinary spice and wild berry. The savory palate shows great freshness, featuring cranberry, pomegranate, raspberry and white pepper alongside lithe but present tannins. Bright acidity keeps it vibrant. Drink through 2027.

91 Aromas of strawberry, culinary spice and a whiff of eucalyptus waft out of the glass. Made with organically grown gapes, the savory palate is still quite young, featuring ripe black cherry, culinary spice and star anise alongside a tannic backbone. Fresh acidity keeps it energized. Drink through 2025.©kerinokeefe.com |
